<p>I guess i will start with the grammar concept.</p>

<p>Which is manner is grammatically correct?</p>

<p>The Prius is a car.</p>

<p>The Prius is a name of a car.</p>

<p>And also i was wondering if someone could give me some tips on how i can speed up the time used in doing grammar problems.</p>

<p>So far, I have been doing the problems not for following the time limit but rather to see if i can explain why each and every choice is wrong/ correct. </p>

<p>It seems that i usually only rack up a few grammar errors implementing this method (I only miss odd idioms usually). Now that i am confident in my grammar ability, can someone please recommend anything i can do to speed up the process of eliminating wrong choices and picking the right one.</p>

<p>So far i have been using acronyms to explain why each choice is wrong. For example I use the following:</p>

<p>SV=Subject-Verb agreement is wrong
NP=Not Parallel
AWK=awkward
W=wordy
MPM=Misplaced Modifer
DM=Dangling Modifier
I=Idiom Error
D=Diction Error</p>

<p>etc.</p>

<p>You have a very good start. Keep doing it until your ear kicks in. Then you can just read the sentence and the right answer will just sort of “come to you.”</p>

3

<p>are you talking about questions where you choose the replacement or questions where you simply identify the error? </p>

<p>if its identify the error simply look for the error as you have been, you wont necesarily need to identify it in the way you are with your abbreviations but simply recognize it. </p>

<p>if you are talking about the questions in which you choose a replacement, simply look for what you know is right based on the question, I read the question and know what needs to be in the answer and look for the answers with that component then choose the most logical of those answers</p>

<p>(also for your prius question, eliminate “the” from the second sentence and they both are correct)</p>
